Attempted the reverse of the course I call the Gungahlin Drive Extension. And no I didn't go for a run on the notorious road works in Canberra, it is an extension on the famous 8 mile run in Yass to make it into a half marathon (21.1km) For some reason I came up with this silly name.
Anyway, I always get a bit nervous about doing the reverse of a well known course. All of a sudden the easy bits become hard, the uphills become downhill and vice versa. Today I was very nervous about going reverse especially the big downhill reward after a sharp uphill being inverted to a long uphill incline, so much so that I talked myself into walking at 12km. After 3 mins I collected myself and ran the remainder of the hill and realized it was not as long as I had thought. I plodded along to finish 22kms but felt lazy for having to walk half way through. You can't dominate all the time can you and it's another run to add to the bank!
